Scott Moore to oversee Sportsnet, NHL in new Rogers Media post

Moore will oversee two major sport portfolios at Rogers Communications, as he looks to leverage the group's cable, wireless and media assets to make money on a 12-year, $5.2 billion deal with the pro hockey league.

“Scott [Moore] and I have a longstanding history together in sports television. Having worked in all facets of the business, he understands the passionate and personal connection fans have to sports and their teams,” said Pelley in a statement Thursday.

Moore’s previous role as head of broadcast for Rogers Media will be divided between Paul Ski, who will oversee radio, and a new yet-to-be-hired SVP of television and broadcast operations.
